De Kas Restaurant
Gourmet cuisine at its finest in a greenhouse in the middle of a city park. Simply good! The De Kas is run by two former star chefs and you can taste it in every course. Every day the menus change, depending on what could be harvested fresh in the morning in their own cultivation. Stylish ambience and finest plant-to-plate cuisine.
Pluk Café
Pluk is a girl’s dream come true. They offer healthy juices, bowls, coffee, and cakes. In addition, pretty home accessories, dried flowers, and stationery. Everything is very cute and pretty to look at. If you want to do a detox, you can also have the juices delivered to your home via their webshop. Both shops are perfectly located between Herren- and Prinsengracht, so you can have a quick refresher with coffee and juice while shopping in the area’s small boutiques.

Looking into the green during yoga is not only good for the eyes and lungs but also meditative.

The Conscious Club is climate-neutral with photovoltaic system on the roof and natural building materials.
Stay
The Jakarta Hotel ****
Probably the “greenest” hotel in the Netherlands is the Jakarta Hotel on Java Island. Because it is not only built of 80 renewable wood (bamboo) but also has an entire botanical garden of palm trees and subtropical plants in its atrium. This was developed in combination with the Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam. The hotel operates CO2-neutral and the bathroom amenities are an in-house organic cosmetics brand. The outdoor terrace of the Indonesian restaurant is perfect for Indonesian food while watching the sunset. From the pool in the wellness area, you can see over the water to the mainland. When it rains, it is best to spend the day at the hotel. For example, in the palm garden with a coffee and a delicious piece of cake from Café Westers.
